How do I find products on packery.com.au?
Start from a category page that matches what you serve, such as takeaway containers, coffee cups, napkins, bags or cutlery. Each category lists products with their size, material and carton quantity, so you can shortlist items before opening a product page.
If you already know the containers you want, the takeaway containers range is the usual starting point for cafés, caterers and food trucks. From there, add the extras a takeaway order needs: cups, napkins, bags and cutlery. Product names follow a consistent pattern (item, size, material and carton quantity), which makes it easier to compare similar lines side by side.
What does "sold by the carton" mean?
It means you buy whole cartons, not single units or sleeves. The carton quantity is written in the product name, for example "(Carton of 200)" or "(Carton of 1000)", and the product page shows both the carton price and the price per item.
Reading those two prices together tells you what each container or cup costs your business. For example, the 9x6x3 Sugarcane Takeaway Container – Unbleached Clamshell (Carton of 200) is $34.85 per carton, or $0.17 each. The 140mm Wooden Cutlery – Coffee Stirrer (Carton of 10000) is $51.29 per carton, which works out at $0.005 each. Comparing price per item is the clearest way to weigh a larger carton against a smaller one.
What can a first order include?
A first order can be one carton or a mix of cartons across categories, because there is no minimum order. The table below shows examples from across the range, using the carton price and price per item listed on each product page.
